The+Pegword+Strategy

What we know: [] Strategy: The pegwords strategy helps with remembering numbered information. Pegwords are words that rhyme with number words. Pegwords are the substitute for number words and are associated to the information that is being memorized. Rationale: Any word can be used as a pegword, it just has to rhyme with the number word. This is helpful with information that has to be remembered in sequence. Example: one à run two à shoe three- à tree four--- à door five--- à hive six à sticks seven à heaven Steps: 1. **THINK** of the first piece of information to be remembered 2. **THINK** of the pegword for the number one (run) 3. **FORM** an association between run and the piece of information- picture it in your mind 4. **REPEAT** steps 1-3 for each piece of information. Model: [] Let's try: Cats: 1. are excellent hunters, 2. are curious or inquisitive, 3. spend at least an hour a day grooming their fur by licking it with their tongues, 4. sleep almost twice as many hours a day as do other animals, 5. have an excellent sense of smell.
